Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Canoe Ride

A canoe, my girlfriend and I

Rented for a row on the lake.

I told her since I was the guy

And heavier, I needed take

The back end of the canoe, and

She, lighter, to the front would go.

I lied to make her understand

The one in the front had to row.

I got a "you fib" look from her,

But she did do as I did ask.

The canoe ride was fun for sure,

While both of us did assigned task.

I was enjoying a nice snore

Until she smacked me with the oar.
